Baileys Coffee Eclair Recipe

For the dough:

Choux pastry

100g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 cup water
1 cup plain/all-purpose flour (160g)
Pinch flaked salt
Pinch caster sugar
5 large eggs approx. 240g, at room temperature (Tessa adds 4 immediately and then gradually adds the last until she gets the desired consistency)

For the filling:

Baileys Tiramisu Cream

500g mascarpone
200ml thickened cream
2 tbsp Baileys Tiramisu Flavoured Liqueur
2 tsp coffee (mix with 4 tsp warm water before adding)
4 tbsp icing sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Whip all ingredients together until thick and cream reaches an almost stiff peak. Place into a piping bag.

Dark Chocolate Ganache

180g Dark chocolate, finely chopped
180g thickened cream
Pinch Salt

For the icing:

Baileys Tiramisu Glaze
4 tsp coffee
3 cups Icing sugar
90ml hot water
2 tbsp Baileys Tiramisu

METHOD

Step one:

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees fan forced.

Step two:

Add the butter, water, salt and sugar to a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil and ensure the butter has melted.

Step three:

Add the flour to the mix and stir to combine.

Step four:

Keep on the heat for another minute and keep folding and shifting the mixture so it doesn’t burn. Remove the dough from the heat and place into a cake mixing bowl.

Step five:

Turn the mixer on medium and mix the dough until it crumbles and cools. Once the steam has completely gone, start adding the egg. You should end up with a glossy thick consistency (you don’t want it too runny).

Step six:

Using a star nozzle in a piping bag, pipe out the choux pastries onto the silicone mats.

Step seven:

Dust lightly with icing sugar and then bake for 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and keep the door ajar with a wooden spoon until completely cooled. Once cooked, slice each eclair in half lengthways.

Step eight:

Place chocolate and salt in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan and then pour over the chocolate. Leave for 2 minutes and then mix thoroughly.

Step nine:

Place in the fridge for 4 hours to set and then pipe into choux buns.

Step ten:

Mix ingredients together until it reaches a consistency of a smooth thick glaze (you don’t want it too thin so add the water a little at a time).

Step eleven:

Pour over the lid of the eclair and leave for 30 minutes to set before assembling.

Step twelve:

To assemble: Pipe a small amount of the ganache in the bottom of the eclair and then top with the Baileys Tiramisu cream. Dust with cocoa and then place the coffee iced lid on top.
